After winning the Player of the Match award for his outstanding performance against the Punjab Kings, Virat Kohli expressed his gratitude towards his fans. He mentioned that he always aims to create memorable moments during matches and appreciates the love and support he receives from his supporters. He said:
“It’s been going on for years (love story with fans at Chinnaswamy). People talk about a lot of other things when you play sport – achievement, stats, numbers. But when you look back it’s the memories you create. The love, appreciation and backing I’ve received has been amazing.”
Virat Kohli described spending time with his family as a surreal experience, emphasizing the significance of being able to enjoy ordinary moments as an everyday person. He added:
“Just to feel normal for two months – for me, my family – it was a surreal experience. Couldn’t have been more grateful to God for the opportunity to spend time with the family. It’s an amazing experience to just be another person on the road and not be recognised. That’s the promise I can give here – I’ll keep turning up and keep trying me best.”
